Qu Xiaohan has known his true life experience since he was a child, but he has never thought of returning to Nanyun, let alone any ambition.

He just wanted to look at Shangguan Ruoli silently from a distance, be his adopted brother, and live his life peacefully.

But now, why?

Why did Dongming Ziyu and Nanyun Lengyue decide his fate in just a few words and push him into the vortex of the Nanyun royal family?

Did he do anything wrong? Did he do anything to feel sorry for Dongming, sorry for Shangguan's family, and sorry for Shangguan Ruoli?

Why push him out?

Why use him as a bargaining chip in exchange for interests and rights?

He has no power and power in Nanyun and is alone, but he is the heart of Emperor Nanyun and is the son he can't let go of. This means that he is destined to be a thorn in the eyes and flesh of those princes.

Therefore, his trip was even more dangerous than going to the battlefield.

The point is, that's not the life he wants! He doesn't care even if he has tremendous power!

Qu Xiaohan saw the uncertain look in Shangguan Ruoli's eyes and knew what she was worried about.

So, he said: "Li'er, you don't have to worry. If the Fourth Prince of Nanyun and others pursue me, or even collude with some people in Dongming to force me to submit, there is a high probability that the Shangguan family will be harmed. I have already revised the book for you.

The adoptive father has made it clear about the situation, and he will definitely take some precautions and responses, and I will not see anything happen to the Shangguan family."

"What did father say? Did he know about this in advance?" Shangguan Ruoli knew that Shangguan Tianxiao was now at the border of Nanyun, more than 200 miles away, and could travel back and forth in a few hours to deliver letters.

Qu Xiaohan said: "My adoptive father has been notified before he received my letter. He said that he has already started making arrangements so that I don't have to worry. No matter what the Dongming court means, he will support me as my adoptive father."

…”

The implication is that if Qu Xiaohan doesn't want to return to Nanyun, he will try his best to deal with it, or simply send secret guards to try to rescue him.

"I have decided to go back. Always hiding is not an option. You don't have to worry. Over the years, because I know that I have a special status, I am not unprepared. I have also cultivated my own power secretly. Although it is not top-level, it is powerful.

It’s not like there’s no one to do anything. Besides, my adoptive father also gave me a group of dead soldiers to defend myself.”

Although he also intends to monitor him, as long as he does not do anything to harm Shangguan's family, those people will be loyal to him.

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, "I understand. Please take care of yourself when you go. If you need my help, I will definitely do my best to help you."

Qu Xiaohan smiled happily, "Okay, I remember."

She was already a wife, and he didn't dare to disturb her if anything happened.

For a moment, the two of them were speechless, and there was a silence in the room.

After a while, Qu Xiaohan asked in a very soft voice: "Li'er, if, I mean if, one day, I ascend to a high position, offer you a job with the country, and promise you to be together for the rest of your life, will you agree?

?After all, King Xuan...can't do it."

Shangguan Ruoli was shocked and said softly: "There are no ifs in this world, I am already Princess Xuan..."

"Master," Qu Xiaohan's attendant outside the door reminded softly, "Emperor Nanyun and others are coming this way."

Shangguan Ruoli stood up from the bed and said solemnly: "Take care!"

Qu Xiaohan's eyes turned red, her pale lips trembled, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Shangguan Ruoli was still dressed as a young eunuch. When he heard the footsteps approaching, it was too late to go out, so he stood in the corner.

The door was opened, and Emperor Nanyun staggered in, holding the eunuch's hand.

He first locked his eyes on Qu Xiaohan who was on the bed, examined his appearance, and asked excitedly: "Han'er, are you really Han'er?"

Qu Xiaohan said calmly: "Uncle Huang, I am Han'er, but now I take my mother's surname and my name is Qu Xiaohan."

"Han'er!" Emperor Nanyun walked quickly to the bed and tore off Qu Xiaohan's clothes.

Dongming Ziyu came in and stood there, blocking Shangguan Ruoli's sight.

Shangguan Ruoli glared at him, but when she treated Qu Xiaohan's wound, she saw that there was a peach blossom-shaped birthmark on his collarbone.

"Han'er, you are indeed Han'er!" Emperor Nanyun almost cried when he saw the birthmark, but he held back.

Qu Xiaohan said calmly: "Uncle Emperor, please take care of yourself."

Emperor Nanyun said with a complicated expression: "Silly boy, he is still called uncle, he should be called father!"

Qu Xiaohan said calmly: "Uncle, my nephew doesn't dare."

Nanyun Lengyue coughed lightly and said: "Father, the emperor's brother is seriously injured. We should take the emperor's brother back to recuperate first."

Emperor Nanyun nodded hurriedly with tears in his eyes and said: "Yes, yes, yes, take good care of yourself first."

Qu Xiaohan's eyes flashed with sadness and fear, and he said: "Uncle, my nephew dare not go back. My nephew almost died while hiding his name outside. If he went back, I'm afraid I don't even know how he died."

"Let's see who dares! I've already punished that evil son of the Fourth Brother. I can't even protect my own son. I've failed so much as an emperor!" Emperor Nanyun's dragon power was shaken, and the pressure of the superior was overwhelming.

spread out.

Nanyun Lengyue showed a sarcastic smile behind her, and it disappeared in a flash, but Shangguan Ruoli saw it.

Nanyun Lengyue felt Shangguan Ruoli's gaze, noticed the little eunuch in the corner, and winked at her.

Needless to say, in exchange for a cold look from Dongming Ziyu, he blocked Shangguan Ruoli with his tall body.

Nanyun Lengyue rolled her eyes: stingy!

Dongming Ziyu stared back: My wife, if you look at me again, I will pluck out your eyeballs!

During the exchange of affection between the two of them, Emperor Nanyun made many guarantees to Qu Xiaohan, but he only asked in a low voice.

Emperor Nanyun must have truly loved Qu Xiaohan, otherwise there would be no need for him to come in person.

Finally, Qu Xiaohan agreed to return to Nanyun to recuperate first.

Emperor Nanyun was very happy. With an order, four eunuchs came in carrying a stretcher.

The eunuch carried Qu Xiaohan onto the stretcher and carried him out.

Qu Xiaohan's face was calm and expressionless. Only when he looked at Shangguan Ruoli, he showed a hint of reluctance and worry.

Shangguan Ruoli gave him a protective look and watched him go out, following Emperor Nanyun's guard of honor.

"You've gone far, go back!" Dongming Ziyu's cold voice came to his ears, obviously unhappy.

Shangguan Ruoli took a deep look at Dongming Ziyu and asked calmly: "Did you sell Qu Xiaohan for a good price?"

Leaving these words behind, he turned around and walked towards the small room where the pulleys were made.

Dongming Ziyu looked at Shangguan Ruoli's arrogant and distant figure from a distance, with some anger and hurt in his eyes.

Shangguan Ruoli was also angry. Emperor Dongming treated Dongming Ziyu badly, and the prince and queen wanted to kill Dongming Ziyu.

Is Dongming Ziyu so hardworking? He sold Qu Xiaohan for Dongming's benefit.

It’s simply a disservice to others!
